Golden Boy - Glitch - on OpenSea

Tango in the Big Mango–a Baudelaire-like photo imagination about Bangkok, working at a ground zero of now-ness–published by Hatje Cantz, features the "Golden Boy“ cover photograph. The "Golden Boy“ glitch NFT edition is being released to commemorate the transition from the analogue printed book to a digital smart contract.

The "Golden Boy" draped in his gilded, "golden life" foil is making his usual way through the city. He is a fleeting signifier for the world’s need to arrive at a new philosophy of cultural “progress,” one that might depart decisively from destructive “get-rich-quick” schemes and unchecked economic expansion. Nobody knows where yesterday’s "Golden Boy" may be headed now, and even he is increasingly confused by the golden assumptions he still carries everywhere in his shimmering vestments.
